Gaza Residents Advocate For Long-Term Ceasefire Extension

Gaza residents are advocating for the four-day humanitarian truce to transition into a lasting ceasefire, enabling them and their families to return home.

On Monday evening, as the initial truce was concluding, Qatar, a key mediator, announced a two-day extension. This temporary relief highlights the plight of Gaza's 2.3 million people, enduring attacks since October 7. Palestinians are urgently calling for a permanent ceasefire, emphasizing the priority of returning to their homes, even if destroyed during the recent heavy bombardment.

Despite the truce's quieting effect on the skies, the UN reports 1.6 million displaced, some enduring hardship and feeling a sense of "shame." Many express the need for a truce that ensures a return to homes, emphasizing the struggle for basic necessities and the desire to live with dignity intact.

The Gaza media government office reports over 6,800 people missing and presumed dead under rubble, in addition to 14,854 Palestinians killed since October 7. For those like Noor Saadeh, displaced a month ago, the truce falls short of addressing the fundamental need to return home and reclaim their old lives.
